  • Title: Some deep mycoses diagnosed by histopathology in South Eastern Nigeria.
    Author: Khalil M, Ekanem IO, Gugnani HC, Attah EB.
    Journal: Rev Iberoam Micol; 1999 Dec; 16(4):221-4. PubMed ID: 18473552.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-three cases of deep mycoses were histologically diagnosed in 6500 surgical biopsy specimens examined during a three year period (1985-1988) in the Department of Pathology, University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar, Nigeria. These included 12 cases of African histoplasmosis, four of mycetoma, four of actinomycetoma, two of paranasal aspergilloma, and one of zygomycosis due to Conidiobolus coronatus (rhinoentomophthoromycosis). Involvement of tooth gum and colon in one case each of African histoplasmosis, and of maxillary sinus in two cases of paranasal aspergilloma were unusual clinical manifestations. The need for greater awareness of deep mycoses and for provision of adequate laboratory facilities in Nigeria is emphasized.
